...second and private assurance-communicated on the President's instructions by Robert Kennedy to Soviet Ambassador Anatoli Dobrynin on the evening of Oct. 27-was that the President had determined that once the crisis was resolved, the American missiles then in Turkey would be removed. (The essence of this secret assurance was revealed by Robert Kennedy in his 1969 book Thirteen Days, and a more detailed account, drawn from many sources but not from discussion with any of us, was published by Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. in Robert Kennedy and His Times in 1978. In these circumstances, we think...

"Why not?" Dobrynin responded. The result, an unprecedented hourlong program watched by an estimated 50 million people, attracted so much interest that Soviet authorities rebroadcast it last week...
...harsh words coming out of Washington these days. They recognize that Reagan's many arms-control proposals mark considerable movement from his early days as President, but are worried that the U.S. may be advancing those ideas only to calm its European allies and the peace movement. Anatoli Dobrynin, the Soviet Ambassador to the U.S., is believed to be telling his Politburo colleagues that moderates and pragmatists, mostly in the State Department, are vying with implacable hard liners, boycott in the Pentagon, for Reagan's ear as to what course to take toward the U.S.S.R. Haig is apparently...
